WINDOW-GUARD.

SPECIFICATIQN forming part Of Letter Patnt No. 367,478, dated August 2l1887.

Application led March 15, 1887. Serial No.230,966. (No model.) u

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, OTTO VAGNER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, State of New York, haveinvented a new and Improved "Window- Guard, of which thefollowing is aspecification.

rIhis invention relates to a guard for pro.

tectin g ladies washing the windows from falling frorn'the sill.l'iheguardis so constructed that it occupies but little room, and thatit may be readily attached to Windows of different widths.

The invention consists in the various features of improvementhereinafter more fully pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a front elevation of a Windowprovided with my improved guard. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section online x x, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line y y, Fig. l.

The letter A represents a window-frame provided With eyes a a, that areengaged by hookshaped ends of bent rods b. lo the upright portions ofthese rods there is secured by staples, as shown, or otherwise, a backplate or rest, d, placed in front of the rods, as shown, and attachedthereto in suitable manner. I preferI to make the plate d ofconeavoconvex form, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the central portion ofthe plate accommodates the body of the occupant, While the side portionsform i channels for the reception of the rods b. The upper ends of rods.b project above plate d, and are there provided with eyes c, to whichthere are attached the lower ends of chains or rods f, the upper ends ofwhich are engaged by hooks g, secured to the sides of the windowframe. Iprefer to form the upper portions of chains f of a number of rings, asshown, so that either of such rings may be engaged by hooks r/. Thus theinclination of the guard may be adjusted, and the guard may be appliedto Windows of different Widths.

I consider it of importance to join the chains f to the rods b and notto the back d, and in placing such rods against the outer side of theback d, because by this construction the strain exerted on the chainswill be transv ferred tothe rods and not to the back, andthe latter Willnot have atendeney to become dis connected from the rods.

lVhat I claim is-v l. The combination of bent rods b, having hooleshapedhorizontal end upright portions and eyes e,Withthe bach d, secured tothe upright portions of said rods and placed against the inner'sides ofthe same, and with the chains f, attached to eyes e, substantially asspecified.

2.` The combination of bent rods b, having a hook-shaped horizontalportion, and having avertical portion and eyes @,With a concaveconvexback,..d, the vertical portion of the rods being secured Within theconcave portions or channels of the back, substantially as specified.
